As SSC has said, it is Aussie slang for sausage. Actually it is a contraction of the original Aussie slang term for sausage, "snagger". Alright cobber? No wukkas.

OK, I just realized that made sense to no one but me. Back as a teenager in Hawaii, one of us had a character named Murdoch, and the DM had come up with stats for Maxwell's Silver Hammer (something in a song)...OK, never mind, it still doesn't make a lot of sense.

Okay, you are really starting to worry me Paul. Murdoch, hmm was this infuenced by oh I don't know, the "A-Team?"

And as for Maxwells Hammer, yikes! They had that song on a old 70s movies with the Bee Gees sung if I am not mistaken by oh uh, errrr Steve Martin wasn't it? Oh and of course the original by those instects....


You are really starting to worry me now mi amigo.
